PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,275, dated May 23, 1882.

Application tiled April 7, 1882. (No model.)

To all 'whomit may concern Be it known that I, GEO. F. BEEN-na citizen of the United States, residing at Hornellsville, in the county of Steuben and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, of which the following is aspecitication,referencebeinghad therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of certain improvements in pumps, which will be fully understood by the following description and claims.

The objects I have in view are to produce a combined lifting and force pump without stuft'- ing-box or airchamber or the use of leather or bolts, (except in connection with the handles and lower piston,) and small enough to be put into a bored well of four inches in diameter, and capable of either lifting or forcing water to any desired height, and not liable to injury from either frost or hot water.

1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved pum p. Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are detached views.

In the construction of my pump the main cylinder or barrel Agis made very long, so thatthe plunger B may be worked with full stroke either in the upper part or the lower. Above the spout is a second cylinder or barrel, (l, with a secondary piston, D, working therein. A third cylinder or barrel, G', is made of greater diameter than the upper barrel, (Lin order to allow the upper piston to play loosely therein.

The sucker -rod E is made adjustable, having a series of bolt-holes, e, therein, so that both pistons may be raised or lowered in relation to the handle F and crooked link Gr.

As shown in the drawings, Fig. 1, the pumppistons are arranged to act as a. force-pump, onepiston acting as they go down and the other as they rise, thus giving a continuous low of water; but when the piston-rod is lowered and the bolt H put into the upper hole e the upper piston comes down opposite or below the spout, where the chamber is enlarged and the upper piston worked loose, thus making a simple lift pump. In case we wish to put the cylinder A lower down in the well, the two cylinders are unscrewed at b, Fig. 1, and a proper length of pipe inserted between the cylinders; and also a piece of sucker-rod, L,

is employed to lengthen the sucker-rod to equal the increased length of the water pipe Z, Fig. 6, as is well understood. by plumbers.

At the bottom of cylinder A is a check-valve, M, and the main piston or plunger B is also provided with a check-valve constructed as follows: A disk, N, is made with a large central hole, n, for sufficient supply of water, and alsoV with bolt-holes, and the basket. I? has bolt-holes for the bolts R. A piece oit' packing, S, is placed between the disk N and basket l?, and then the nuts on bolts It turned up tight, the valve O having been put iu place so as to rest on the packing S when down, and thus secure a close joint and prevent wear of the metaland consequent leakage. The disk N is made of dish shape, so as to bend or mold the packing S to it the cylinder. The upper piston, D, consists of two disks, the upper one, V, being made dishing on the lower side, and the lower disk, W, having a corresponding convex upper surface, so as to bend and mold the packing X to its proper shape.

In order to let off the water in the pump and prevent freezing, the handle is raised to its full height, when the disk N strikes the heel ot' the check-weight M, and thus lets o' the water from the cylinder. At the same time the check weight, by rising, strikes the stem o and opens the upper check, and thus completely empties the pump. The spout is large,

and thus gives a free flow of water for ordinary use; but when force is required a reducer, Y, is employed in attaching the hose.

The packing S is known as Jenkins steampacking,77 which is not injured by frost or hot water, and is more durable than any other pack- IDO an adjustable piston-rod and two pistons, different depths, substantially `as described whereby the pistons can be adjusted up or and shown. 1o down to change the pump from a force to a In testimony whereof I affix my signature lift pump and from a lift to a force pump, subin presence of two' Witnesses.

stantially as set forth. l GEO. F. BEEBE.
